Gluten Free Cosmetics

UPDATE: Please check out my “BEAUTY” page for an updated list of gluten-free cosmetics, skin care and more! If you have any suggestions please leave a comment below or send me an email at creativecookinggf@gmail.com – Jenny

I have been on the hunt for the past month for some new gluten free cosmetics and I never thought it would be so difficult to get an answer. It started with going to the store to hopefully find something…anything but sadly it didn’t work out that way. Most of the brand name cosmetics that you find in the stores have a laundry list of ingredients in them. Who has the time to sit there and read all of these ingredients, plus have the ability to know all the technical names of ingredients that contain or are derived from gluten/wheat? I surely do not so instead I decided I would start e-mailing and calling companies instead.

I started by looking at their websites only to find that just one company had the information listed on their website…just one (I sent them and e-mail just to double check)! All the others I had to fill out the “contact us” forms online. Some responded with the ingredients they use that contain gluten and wheat, however they would not list which products were free of them. And again I ask, who has the time to read all the ingredients, especially in small print….not me. Finally only two places got back to me. Neutrogena and Bare Escentuals.

It took several days and a phone call later to hear back from Neutrogena, but bottom line, they responded and yes they have GF products!!! Bare Escentuals responded in less than a half hour. Below are the responses from both companies. I think I will start out with trying the Neutorgena products because: 1) they are a bit less money and 2) they are pretty much everywhere. Bare Escentuals look great but a bit out of my price range for now.

As for skin care I currently use Burt’s Bees and LOVE it. I think for now I will stick with them, however on the Neutrogena list they have a good number of options for you in this area also.

Again, thank you for your interest in our company. Should you have any comments or questions in the future, please contact us via our website www.neutrogena.com or by calling our toll-free number, 1-800-582-4048. Our specialists are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m – 8:00 p.m. EST and will be happy to assist you.

My friends Adina and Debbie also said that Tarte Cosmetics also had gluten free options and here is what their website has to say:

I have allergies to certain ingredients or I have Celiac’s disease, can you give me a list of products that do not contain this allergen?
At the bottom of every tarte product page in the tarte shop there is an ingredient listing where you can find the ingredients to the products you’re interested in. You can also find a list of gluten free products on the skinvigorating ingredients page. All gluten free products are marked on each product page in the tarte shop. Tarte cannot guarantee that any ingredients or products were produced in an allergen free environment.

I just found two companies claiming GF. One is Afterglow cosmetics. the nice thing about them is you can acutally UNDERSTAND what the ingredients are. The other is ZuZu. You can get ZuZu at Vitamin cottage and other health food stores.

I did talk to ZuZu b/c their lipstick and lipgloss contain Wheat Germ Glycerides. they said if done properly, it can be extracted from the wheat w/o Gluten. They also told me the batch test.

I own a company called No Gluten Natural Girl Products. We offer gluten free, natural, vegan and chemical free products that are affordable and made by gluten free companies. We have a large variety of cosmetics in addition to hair care, hygiene, bath and body, sunscreen and outdoor sprays in addition to household products. We have something for everyone, men, women and children. You can read some of our reviews and even about all the comapnies we work with and about my self and my partner.

I’ve been using Joelle Cosmetics for about 1-1/2 years now with sensitive skin. I like it because it offers buildable coverage that doesn’t feel heavy and doesn’t irritate my skin like so many other cosmetics do. Everything they sell is gluten-free: http://www.mymineralglitters.com/joellecosmetics.html
